Descripción: In this paper we consider a class of symmetric Cantor sets in R. Under certain separation condition we determine the exact packing measure of such a Cantor set through the computation of the lower density of the uniform probability measure supported on the set. With an additional restriction on the dimension we give also the exact centered Hausdorff measure by computing the upper density. © 2011 Elsevier Inc.

Descripción: We estimate the packing measure of Cantor sets associated to nonincreasing sequences through their decay. This result, dual to one obtained by Besicovitch and Taylor, allows us to characterize the dimension functions recently found by Cabrelli et al for these sets. © 2007 American Mathematical Society.
